1996 Pontiac Bonneville
In 1996, Pontiac Bonneville came in with two model trims, the SE and the SLE.
A 3800 Series II SFI V6 engine that generates 205 horsepower powered both models
and used a four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. Also both can have the
optional supercharged version that generates 240 horsepower. These engines plus
